I just made these. They are delicious! Bye bye expensive Luxardo cherries. Here are my changes: I used frozen pitted dark sweet cherries from Walmart. Thawed them out while making the syrup. Substituted a tablespoon of lemon juice and a sprinkle of lemon peel (Spice Island) for the real lemon. Used Heering Cherry Liqueur which is about $10 cheaper than Luxardo. I have enough left to do at least 2 more batches, maybe 3. Filled 3 pint jars perfectly. Going in my Manhattan tonight!! Thanks!
